+ It is exactly what I was looking for in a lens - very easy to operate and giving me a lot of flexibility.

+ The price is very good for the quality of a cannon lens
- so far none
purchased 01 Jun 2009
+ If you can hold a camera steady this is a good lens for a good price.
- This is a lens for an experienced photographer. Such a telephoto is not easy to hold still and a beginner or inexperienced amateur should buy one with an image stabaliser, even if it means waiting to save up the money. Camera shake is very likely otherwise, and you would not be getting the best out of this worthy lens.

I'm an amateur photographer, this item was cheap considering what it is and compared to similar products.
I never thought for the amount this lens cost I would get a Canon.
- Bit long, when extended !

Fast focus, and clean shots.
Good magnification and overall performance for the price.
-
Low light conditions not so easy to use.
Using in full auto mode is not always possible.

Features
Effective for sunsets and places where you cannot use a tripod
The lightest 4x telephoto zoom lens in its class. Ideal for sports, portraiture, animals, etc. The telephoto effect can make the picture look compressed or have excellent background blur. At the 300mm focal length, you can fill the frame with a postcard from 1.5 meters away.
